Hi, Justin!

I've just set up Broadband for a friend who hasn't got cable and so can't 
use NTL.

She had to have a little box on Every phone she uses, or in other words a 
filter.

She also had to use a USB modem to connect and also to switch on the 
connection after starting up her PC (she uses Windows 98 SE).

My NTL cable broadband is easier to set up and I don't need filters.  But 
since she hasn't got cable in the wilds of Devon, she's stuck with her 
present set-up.
